It's official ladies and gentlemen!! It's David Moyes on a 6 year deal effective 1st July. It will be like Fergie never left. Okay. As close as it can be. There will never be another Fergie but Moyes has been a student of Fergie University for the longest time and atleast will listen to him. I also suspect most of the staff will be retained.

Talk about succession planning! Fergie tried to tap Moyes 15 years ago to be his assistant! Although Moyes didn't take up the offer, he has been somewhat be mentored by Fergie ever since. He now shares the same work ethic, philosophies, style etc. and will fit perfectly well in the club.

"David Moyes has no experience of managing an elite club and zero history of success. In all his years at Everton he has never won a trophy and has finished in the top four only once – and even then they failed to make it through the preliminary qualification round, though they did get a very difficult draw. He’s obviously done well with limited resources but there is no evidence of how he will do with real money to spend in the transfer market, or the egos of the dressing room or the scrutiny of the international media.........."

For some reason i thought "arry would be a much better replacement. Anyway this appointment kind of reminds me of Manuel Pellegrini when he was appointed Real Madrid coach. Everyone expected him to perform as good as he did at Villareal especially with the likes of CR7 and Benzema in the team but things were different. He was sacked at the end of the season moved on to Malaga where he's performed quite well.....maybe such managers are only good in mid-table teams. I think the fact that Moyes is British also played a big role in getting the job. I'm sure he'll be thrilled to work with the current United side which is way better than what he had at Everton.....might quite possibly sign Fellaini and Baines as well!

Rooney's best days are not over but he no longer has the influence he used to have on the team. I think it was a strategic and deliberate move by Fergie to sideline him b this season. We can have chicharito and RvP pairing up in front with Kagawa taking up Rooney's role just behind either and then get a steely battling midfielder who comes close to Roy Keane.We have Zaha on either wing now and I hope Moyes can get the best out of Anderson and Nani if he stays

We need a replacement for Evra, Buttner hajaiva bado and Fabio could have become worse at QPR - I hope not...

THANK YOU WIGAN!!!

By causing one of the biggest upsets in the recent history of the FA cup, you have given Sir Alex a very nice good bye gift. The noisy neighbours will definitely be silent for some time to allow us celebrate our living hero manager in peace.

As SAF said, money cannot buy success.

What a sweet feeling!
